What’s my relationship to the puppets? How do I operate multiple characters at the same time? How do I keep the story alive while dealing with the technical stuff? And how do I create when working alone?
Rene Baker’s new online course ‘The Solo Puppeteer’ will explore all of these topics. Using precise techniques, you’ll cover:
* Levels of presence in puppet and performer * Splitting your attention, coordination and guiding focus * Creating distinctive characters * Tips for devising work alone. * Plus, any questions you have.
Rene Baker's workshops have been developed with professional puppeteers, actors and directors in mind but previous experience in puppetry is not a requirement. You will work with your own materials but if you don't have your own puppets, a soft toy, piece of paper or a tea pot can become characters too.
